Sauerwein Construction Retail Building Projects

Cafe Beastro at the Wichita Zoo

Wichita, KS

Plaza Beastro Project is a new restaurant facility for the Sedgwick County Zoo. The facility offers a larger kitchen area to accommodate bigger groups dining at the zoo, a room off the dining area for birthday parties or special interest group meetings. The interior color scheme, windows in clerestory and exterior walls of insulated glass offer a very open feel to the restaurant.

The uniqueness of this project with the open, zoo type feel, exterior patio dining areas, and ponds tying into the building on two sides make this a very interesting project and exciting for Zoo visitors.

The complexity of this building was indeed challenging, as the angles of the exterior permeated throughout the interior. The concrete, steel, masonry, wood trusses and standing seam all had to fit together without a square corner to work from.

Piztros Restaurant

Wichita, KS

A very labor-intensive project, this was a unique construction full of various shapes and features, including rounded ceilings, LED lighting and water-jet-cut tiling. Most likely not one square corner in the entire restaurant. This was a tenant finish for a specialty pizza restaurant.
